Rispetto per la montagna

Cities and Memory - remixing the world

While most mountain excursions pass off without a hitch, every year there are accidents in every mountain range, and the Dolomites is no exception. This composition was spurred by hearing that someone had unfortunately fallen to their death on the same mountain we had been hiking on just the previous day.
The composition begins and ends brightly, representing a typical day on the mountain, but the central section is overlaid with news reports of recent incidents in the mountains beneath a bed of strings, serving as a reminder to anyone visiting the mountains to exercise extreme caution and remember that accidents can happen, tragically, to even the most experienced climbers and hikers. Respect the mountain.
